The rarer fruit is sweeter when despite Her bruising skin, she sits atop the bowl On seasons not her own. A juicy bite So sweet and thoughtful, full of all the soul I need to last another day. She's ripe And I am hungry. Fallen fruits await decay Yet never her. I'd thought she'd be the type To know about her rare, forbidden sway. But all the more I stare into her pit I think about the farm she's stolen from And what a better tree she'd make if it Was not for me and my **** hunger. Plum, So stuck upon your twig, you'll never know What joy there is to have in letting go.

Sonnet on Fruit
The rarer fruit is sweeter when despite Her bruising skin, she sits atop the bowl On seasons not her own. A juicy bite So sweet and thoughtful, full of all the soul I need to last another day. She's ripe And I am hungry. Fallen fruits await decay Yet never her. I'd thought she'd be the type To know about her rare, forbidden sway. But all the more I stare into her pit I think about the farm she's stolen from And what a better tree she'd make if it Was not for me and my **** hunger. Plum, So stuck upon your twig, you'll never know What joy there is to have in letting go.
